Hey @geekhuashan,

Can you confirm which docker image you are using? Are you running the docker run command as a user that has permission to write to the volume (assuming there is one) as well?

Hey @Joffcom The docker image version is 0.196.0. I'm a newbie and I don't know how to run command as a user or root. I just copy the code from the doc.

docker run -it --rm \
	--name n8n \
	-p 5678:5678 \
	-v ~/.n8n:/home/node/.n8n \
	n8nio/n8n

Updated:

I found the issue closed #1240
Follow the instruction, and sucess

docker volume create n8n_data

docker run -it --rm -v n8n_data:/home/data bash chown 1000:1000 -R /home/data

docker run -it --rm \
        --name n8n \
        -p 5678:5678 \
        -v n8n_data:/home/node/.n8n \
        n8nio/n8n
